Hello. I'm a new member but by far not new to The Blair Witch. I've been a fan since the first movie came out (not the crappy remake). My first viewing of The Blair Witch Project was on VHS, I think it was a renter at Blockbuster or something. I was hooked since then. I too was with the many people who tried to analyze what was in the Blair Witch's gift to Heather outside the tent. I was caught up in the phenomenon, but I never thought it was real, although some did I imagine.
The second Blair Witch movie (book of shadows) wasn't as good I'll admit but I liked the reference to the history and things of that nature.
After the first movie came out I found The Blair Witch PC games, (individually, not with the Blair Witch pack that came with the movies, games, and stick figure necklace). Back then I played the games on a big, bulky computer. I've also played Nocturne. I found that on amazon last year brand new and pretty cheap. I only enjoyed the first episode though but I did play them all.
Much later I found The Blair Witch Files books and I really enjoyed them. Amazon became my best friend during that time to find all the books one by one. I also have The Secret Confessions of Rustin Parr, the Blair Witch Project: A Dossier, and The Blair Witch Chronicles (mine is the one with the red cover and I don't know if it's a volume of one set of comics or all of them since it doesn't say.
I also have the Blair Witch Hunt van I also bought on amazon.
My Blair Witch merchandise is minimal compared to other people but I'm fine with that.
As far as me, I'm a 33 year old female still living at home. I live in Rhode Island, although I'd rather be some place else. I don't drive due to ADHD and when I've tried to get medication before it wasn't worth the hassle I had to go through to get it. Besides, people here drive badly as it is and I can picture myself getting into an accident every day. I went to a Community College and graduated with an associates degree in Early Childhood. I'm not 100% fond of children but I was told I should try it and I did. Most of the other classes were business or medical related anyway. But, I did work a few months at a couple of different preschools with people who just wanted to have someone cover breaks and clean up after everyone when the day was over. I didn't make a heck of a lot more than minimum wage, because I wanted to be a Teacher's Assistant. So, with my very limited experience people see that as nothing and pick people who are Mom's and people they know over me. Despite the fact that I'm probably more qualified or overly qualified for the Teacher's Assistant jobs, because I have an associates degree and hardly anyone does. I thought it was a requirement, I was told that anyway.
Anyway, I work at my sucky job at McDonald's in the mean time.
My hobbies include playing video games and reading. The games I mainly play are from the Tomb Raider, Grand Theft Auto, and Metal Gear Solid franchise and I've been playing those since the beginning as well (basically since the 90's). Before that I enjoyed playing games on NES in the 80's. I have a Playstation 4, Playstation 3, and an NES.
I love animals---cats and dogs are great pets.
I've been a lurker on this forum for a while as a guest but I'm currently having issues with my new laptop and The Blair Witch games and couldn't find my answer using google so I thought I'd give this forum a try.
Thanks for reading.

Hello! Glad to be aboard. I have been lurking here for about a year or so now. Truth be told, I'm not here so much as a fan of the Blair Witch franchise, but more as a fan of researching. I am in the early stages of planning out a BW story (fanfic) and while I familiar with my main focus, there are lots of other things I am going to be bringing into it that are far less known (if not completely unknown, as I am finding out) to me. There is so much beyond just the movies to learn from. Dossiers, documentary/mockumentary tie-ins, scripts, official website info, fan discoveries (some may not be canon, but with a universe as open as the BW one, it is sometimes truly hard to say 'no, that doesn't count'), and undoubtedly a treasure trove of other sources I am blanking on at the moment. Admittedly, my story may not be popular simply because I am choosing to focus it around the red-headed stepchild of the franchise (no offense to red-heads, stepchildren or red-headed stepchildren ) - Book of Shadows, but I really plan on going all in with it. I like to think of myself as a very attentive aspiring author, so research (detailed research) is always a must for me, no matter how fictional the world or characters I'm writing about. I have already found a ton of helpful things thanks solely to this message board and I truly thank all of the fans for simply being that: fans. Your discussions, theories and ability to put timelines together from a myriad of sources has never ceased to amaze me overall.

If you want to do something BoS-related, go for it. Some folks like that movie.

Well, to be fair, I never said I wasn't a fan... just that what brought me here (from a lurker to an active poster) was more due to my want to research (and contribute my observations and theories) than to bask in the movies. Then why even bother when the deepest truths have already been discovered by real fans ? That's the thing - have they? For every theory and speculation there is a rebuke or counter out there somewhere that makes just as much sense. That's part of the mystery, part of the draw to the movies and a large part of the fun of being involved in the discussions. Let me start off on the right foot here (or not, depending on my answers). As far as the BW moives go, I find them an interestingly mixed bag. No matter what you do, you simply can't write off TBWP, either for its impact on the horror genre in general or its personal impact on you. Personally, I liked the idea, the way the story became more chaotic, twisted and generally unclear as we neared the end. While I'm not always a fan of movies relying on viewers using their own imagination for the vast majority of it (and there's no denying that TBWP relied heavily on that), I think it worked for this film overall. If nothing else, it generated a ton of conversation, theories and the like that we are all still discussing and evolving today. That being said, the fact that it was also the ultimate (horror) movie where nothing happened also kind of ecliped all the good for me. The opening was great and interesting, it pulled you in and made you want to solve this mystery our protagonists were attempting to unravel. By the time they got into the woods though, it just turned into a screaming fest (and not the good kind). Constant in-fighting, antagonization, stupid choices (even if they were losing it out there), loss of any character likability and the shake/jump/rapid movement of the camera was really too much most of the time. All of that combined didn't ruin the movie for me, but it certainly knocked it down a whole lotta notches on the enjoyment meter. BoS:BW2 was, by all accounts, a failure in the eyes of TBWP fans at the time of its release. Interestingly enough, I believe not being a huge TBWP fan is really what helped me appreciate BoS much more than its predecessor. Sure, it didn't have huge scares, superb acting (not bad in most parts, certainly better than the first for me), flashy FX and the interference in the director's vision from Artisan Entertainment certainly left a wound on the overall picture, but the premise was simply amazing as far as I'm concerned. While it is pretty evident that TBWP was just a movie in this film, it would seem that all the lore that created it does in fact exist there. Elly Kedward, Rustin Parr & house, Coffin Rock, Tappy East Creek, etc. The only thing that didn't actually happen was the group of documentary makers being inflicted with a curse... until our group of fans, either consumed by history or hysteria, find themselves in a fracturing reality as soon as they set foot in the foundation. It never lets up from that point and you find yourself continually wondering if (and how) they are all sharing the same delusion or if there is a supernatural power at work behind it all. I loved it. I absolutely loved it and it quickly became one of my favorite movies. The third one was... well, it built on the mythology at least (and quite marvelously, might I add. Sadly, that is all I have to add for the film).

Hi everybody! I'm Mr Vigilante (I'm a Charles Bronson fan). Also a Blair Witch fan!! Been a fan since I watched it on VHS when I was 13. I watched it alone (which wasn't a good idea). After watching Curse of the Blair Witch (scaring me even more), I was hooked. I even have a soft spot for Book of Shadows and the new Blair Witch movie. It's rare for me to have people to talk to about the Blair Witch so I'm happy to be here!
